Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 has ended and, as usual, the annual mobile device show in Barcelona served as a launching pad for all kinds of interesting and innovative technology. From AI-enhanced devices to futuristic display concepts and flexible smartphones, there was no shortage of new announcements at this year’s conference.
What’s even more exciting is that you can now get your hands on some of the amazing products that will be on display at this year’s MWC. We’ve looked at the best devices revealed at MWC to put together this list of which ones you can buy right now.
These are the top five devices announced at MWC 2024 that are available for purchase or pre-order with a launch just around the corner.
Human AI Pin
Let’s start with one of the most futuristic devices on display this year. The Humane AI Pin is a wearable smart device that attaches to your shirt and can respond to voice commands, answer questions, make calls, take photos, and more. Your Laser Ink screen can also be projected onto your hand, turning your palm into a screen.
While Humane pitches it as something to replace your smartphone, my colleague Jason described it after his hands-on at MWC as a handy AI-powered accessory, better geared toward meeting your daily tech needs than replacing a device you already use. .
He Humane AI Pin starts at $700and if you order before March 31, you’ll get a free three-month subscription to Humane (usually $24/month). Units are scheduled to ship later this month.
OnePlus Watch 2
After the failure of the original OnePlus Watch, many wondered if the company would make a second attempt. But the OnePlus Watch 2 could be one of the best redemption stories the smartwatch industry has ever seen.
The smart watch you can Reserve now for $299, is in a completely different league compared to its predecessor. Not only does it have a fantastic design that combines elegance and durability, but the integration of its RTOS (real-time operating system) with Wear OS 4 helps it compete with popular flagships like the Google Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.
In our review of the OnePlus Watch 2, my colleague Kate said it “fixed everything that was wrong with the original OnePlus Watch and then some, following suit with how OnePlus smartphones have raised the bar in recent years.” While it’s still missing some modern smartwatch features like fall detection and LTE support, it keeps up with the best smartwatches in most ways and marks a new beginning in the history of the OnePlus Watch. .
Xiaomi 14
Xiamoi had several notable announcements at this MWC, but it’s its latest smartphone, the Xiaomi 14, that really stole the show. This flagship smartphone manages to offer a premium phone experience in a compact and pocketable format, setting it apart from the rest.
Sure, 6.36 inches is still pretty big for a compact phone, but it’s an easy pill to swallow given how much tech Xiaomi has managed to pack inside: three 50MP cameras, 90W charging, and a first line with 12 GB of RAM. . The Xiaomi 14 shows that small phones don’t have to sacrifice top-tier specs, rivaling some of the best smartphones on the market today, while also being half an inch smaller.
Unfortunately, our US readers won’t be able to get their hands on it yet, but those in the UK can pre-order this impressive camera phone for £999 ahead of its launch on March 19.
Samsung Galaxy Book 4
Initially launched last year as a South Korea exclusive, Samsung is now launching its Galaxy Book 4 series in select global markets. And it’s the tech giant’s most impressive PC lineup yet, with top-of-the-line Intel Ultra chips, Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant, and a generously sized trackpad that makes navigating its stunning 120Hz AMOLED touchscreen a breeze. easy.
Pricing for the Galaxy Book 4 series starts at $1,099 for the base 360 model, $1,449 for the Pro, $1,899 for the Pro 360, and $2,399 for the Ultra. You can also upgrade the processor and graphics card, but the price will increase accordingly. Note that Samsung will give you up to $800 toward the purchase of a Galaxy Book 4 if you trade in a laptop, phone, or tablet on its website before April 1.
Honor Pad 9
Android tablets have always played second fiddle to Apple iPads in the tablet arena. But the Honor Pad 9 surrenders to the old saying “if you can’t beat them, join them!”
My colleague Jason described the Honor Pad 9 as one of the most iPad-like Android tablets he’s ever used. It has a sleek, durable design, a gorgeous 12.1-inch 2.5K display, and super-long battery life that can go toe-to-toe with the best iPads. Honor’s MagicOS on Android 13 (along with the tablet’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset) delivers a super clean iPad-like experience with the customization and freedom of the latest Android operating system.
And you get all that at a truly unbeatable price. You can get the Honor Pad 9 for £349.99, £200 less than the 10th generation iPad.
